有人以为，“适量”饮酒不会有损健康，甚至可能有益健康。然而新研究发现，无论你喝的是什么酒，无论你喝多喝少，都会对你的大脑造成危害。

There is no such thing as a "safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.

新研究指出，“安全”的饮酒量是不存在的，喝酒喝得越多，对大脑健康的损害就越大。

In an observational study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, researchers from the University of Oxford1 studied the relationship between the self-reported alcohol intake2 of some 25,000 people in the UK, and their brain scans.

在一项未经同行评议的观察性研究中，牛津大学的研究人员研究了英国约2.5万人报告的饮酒量和他们的大脑扫描图像之间的关系。

The researchers noted3 that drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter -- regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to lead author Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.

该研究的首席作者、牛津大学高级临床研究员安雅·托皮瓦拉指出，喝酒会影响大脑灰质，这是“信息加工处理的重要区域”。
